Joyce, The Devon family History Society have produced indexes of some parish records for the Plymouth area. The burial and baptisms and marriages (pre-1837) came from 'The Deanery of the Three Towns An index of baptisms (1813-1839), marriages (1754-1837) and burials (1813-1837) in the parishes of East Stonehouse, PennyCross, Plymouth Charles, Plymouth St. Andrew, St. Budeaux and Stoke Damerel' The post 1837 marriages are indexed in: Plymouth Marriage Index Volume 1 Details of both of these CD indexes are available online in the publications section of the Devon FHS website. For those of us with Plymouth ancestors they are really useful as the IGI coverage is very sparce. Pete
